gentleman from the East," who asserts that its value is demonstrated by "the concentration of the ore below the water level" and places that value at from SIo,ooo.ooo to S.oo,ooo, 900; or upon those of Governor Price, of New Jersey, who probably knows nothing ot these mines and who asserts that the value is demonstrated "by the concentration of the ore below the water level;" or upon those of "well.known mining operator" who was surprised to find "that investors were not invited to go it blind, and gives it as his opinion that the property is worth Sl5,ooo,ooo; or upon the state ments of MT. Joseph H. Reall, "whose ns me is prominently mentioned for Vice President of the United- States" and whose life occupation has evidently been that of a farmer, 1t is time for farmers, at least, whose money is evidently being looked after, to tighten their hold on the hard earned dollars and give a scheme of that character thorough scrutiny be- fore investing.
 Can any sane man believe for q moment that if he owners of the ''famous Tortilitas" had the millions in sight which they claim, that they would be offering the property or any part of it at the rate of S, ,ooo,o 900! or that they would he advertising at cost of S7oo to $500 for each insertion the sale of shares sui. 6ci-nt to erect twenty or forty stamp mill and hoisterl The whole scheme is to transparent to deceive any but those wholly unacquainted with mining operations, and to this class of people the promoters of the "Tor,ilitas" scheme are evidently looking for the money to pay their advertising bills and possibly ts erect mi and holster.

 My reply is no. The only additiona machinery that the outlook would warran is holster of sufficient capacity to tak' care of the water during the prosecution of such deeper work as would be re. quired to demonstrate whether there i any continuity of the ore in paying quan t,,ies below water level, which l yer! much d ,ubt.
 HAL SAYR, Mining Engineer. | DENVER, Colo., Oct. IT, 1887.
Tombstone epitaph., 1887-10-29

The EPlTAPH prides itself upon its record in being the first newspaper in America to ven,ilate the notorious fraud known as the Tortili,a Mining Company. It has called down upon its devoted head abuse and yituperar,on from the paid advocates of the swindle, but has not hesitated in performing what it con. sidered to be it's duty. Letters have been received from every State in the Union, making inquiry about the matter, and copies of the EPITAPH containing the sxbose have been forwarded to the writers. Now we take pleasure in re- producing the report of one of the most eminent mining experts of the country, General Hal. Sayr, of Denver, who has personally examined the property, and whose report coincides exactly with that of the EPlTAPH's expert, a well-known minicg man of Tombstone. The New York Herald, for whom General Sayr's repolt was made, might have s.ved itself much trouble and expense by publishing the EPITAPHs report upon the property wh oh appeared six weeks ago. The le ding mining journals Of the country acctpet our report as correct, with the result that Tor,ilita stock dropped from s to 50 cents per share. While in fact it was not worth ten cents. 7" In closing it's editorial comments upon the Torilta swindle, the Herald says:
 Bunco schemes will injure honest bn'iness and will give their. great Ter Ii,ory a doubtful repu'atiop. There i, but one way to deal with these afrauds-- expose them as we do with this special fraud ia this morniog's Herald. .,,serz

A BLAcKMAlLINc OUTFIT.

For the past few days the Tombstone Prospector has been running "squib." to publish something "ricb, rare and racy." They bore the earmarks of blackmail, but not until last evening did the EPITAPH learn the true inward ness of the case. It seems that one of our most prominent business men had been guilty of or at least had been charged with, some indiscretion which might have been lad at the door of nine men out of ten with as much truth. Y. sterday he received note to the ef- feet that the Prospector was about to publish full account of the affair, and that in order to "square it." he (the busi- ness man) had better see James J. Nash. Knowing that MT. Ritter was friend of Nash'., he went to see him and induced MT. K. to have a talk with Nash. It is said that MT. Ritter tffered Nash S7s out of his own po~ket to say nothing abeu, it, and that Nash's reply was, "No, sir; I've got family to support, and l tn nk hell pay more than that" Ritter left the blackmailer in disgust. Soon afer, Nash and the business man had an interview, with the. result that Nash was given check, made payable to the order of Benny Hyde, for the sum of sIoo, and Nash agreed to keep quiet.
 The main facts show this to be as plain and unvarnished case of black mail as ever was known. The grand jury, which meets here in a few days, cannot help taking cogni.ance of the matter, and the result will probably be that ]. ]. Nash will have to stand trial for the crime {;f he does not skip in the meantime), and if convicted will land ih Yuma, where he belongs.
 We have some respect for a robbe, who stops stage, but for blackmailel we consider Yuma too good for him.
